Having Annie Potts pop up onThe Fostersis always a delight.
She brings a different, much needed energy to the show.
She wants to laugh!
She makes her family dance.
Good lord, sometimes the Adams Fosters need to dance.
Stefs anxiety is only getting worse.
She wants the goods.
Mainly, she wants Stef to talk about Tess.
Shes also upset thinking about how she had zero support from her own family.
How in that moment she felt so alone.
Is Stefs therapist supposed to be telling Stef how shes feeling?
At least we are finally getting to the heart of Stefs problems.
Needless to say, Stef isnt thrilled when Sharon shows up.
Hey, that sounds like exactly the opposite of what Stef wants to do!
Stef is the saddest sad person to ever enter a lesbian bar.
Its probably why she is the only one not asked to dance.
Shes had experiences, Stephanie!
Shes angry and confused, and will remain that way for some time.
But maybe not as long as one would think.
Mariana is starting to put the Tess might be gay puzzle pieces together.
After a heart-to-heart with boyfriend No.
2, Mariana sees how much Logan is hurting from his parents separation.
She confronts Lena with her suspicions, and Lena, lord help her, is honest with her daughter.
Yes, Tess is exploring her sexuality.
No, you may not tell Logan.
As if Lena isnt dealing with enough already.
Surprisingly, Lena sort of agrees with Jesus at first.
If they dont hold Jesus accountable for his actions, they are complicit in his misogynistic behavior.
By agreeing with the boys will be boys mentality, they too are misogynists.
The conversation helps Lena understand what she needs to do, so she has a sit down with Jesus.
Lena has been sexist and it isnt going to happen anymore.
She wants Jesus to be the man that she and Stef have raised him to be.
In true TV fashion, all the players come together for Mothers Day brunch.
Even Tess and Logan join the Adams Foster brood.
Little do they know that all Adams Foster brunch events are filled with two things: tension and tears.
Mariana is so ready to spill some tea.
And not brunch tea.
The other kind of tea.
The tears come from, of course, the presents that the kids heap on to their moms.
(Have they never heard of a group gift?!)
The highlight is Jesus speech, as he reads part of his college essay aloud.
He was supposed to write about the thing that has most impacted his life.
Oh, you guys.
What a lovely essay.
Jesus writes about how Stef and Lena saved him and his sister.
How they made him feel wanted and loved.
So, yeah, this brunch featured eggs and fruit and pancakes served with a side of tears.
Stef flees to the bedroom.
Sharon follows her daughter.
The scene that follows is just magic.
She again brings up feeling like she was a disappointment because shes gay.
But Sharon isnt scared off.
She knows exactly what to do.
As Stef finds out, Sharon started having panic attacks around the age Stef is now.
She gathers all of the Adams Fosters outside, dancing on the porch.
From the looks on their faces, they all really needed it.
